We sell both here at the store, so I have a little experience. Tough to say, since you have the bars already.
Knowing what kind of truck would help. New Tacoma, Thule for sure; '85 Ford Ranger, Outdoorsman for sure.


Thule

Pros:
Looks great
Super solid
Locks to the bed
Raises/Lowers

Cons:
Expensive
Mounting accessories is more difficult that Yakima

Yakima

Pros:
Easy to Install
Less expensive
More versitile (sold in pairs)
Accessories mount right up.
Still solid

Cons:
Not as "good looking"
Can't change height
Can't lock to bed.

Hope this helps.
